DEPLETED URANIUM HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT (Nonfiction)
1 chapters
—
updated 09/16/2007 11:47PM
description:
The use of radioactive metal uranium-238, depleted uranium in military weapons systems such as armor- piercing bullets, bombing casings, tank shielding, counterweights, & other penetrators on missiles, & in cluster bombs, anti-personnel mines, and other anti-personnel weapons (dirt bomb) has been identified as definitive contaminant to the environment and as tremendous health risks to human health.
Its etiological role in the genesis of what has been dubbed as a Gulf War disease has been the subject of sustained controversy since the end of the first Gulf war. This book unveils numerous scientific and epidemiological studies as evidence of both chemical and radiological toxic properties of uranium isotopes in the environment in the Balkans, the Persian Gulf, and the Middle East, and also in the bodies of the veterans who were deployed to those areas.
It also reveals scientific and medical research findings which confirmed what has been clearly determined throughout two decades of research that exposure to radioactive waste of the isotopic enrichment of natural uranium is hazardous to human health and the environment. It documented medical findings from the quantitative analysis of depleted uranium isotopes in British, Canadian and U.S. Gulf War veterans by Horan, Dietz & Durakovic (2002) showed depleted uranium isotopes detection in British, Canadian, & American veterans as long as nine years after inhalation exposure to radioactive dusts.
